Trudeau orders review of outsourced contracts to McKinsey & Company
OTTAWA, CANADA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently asked members of the government’s cabinet to review projects outsourced to global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company.
Following the opposition’s announcement that they will be seeking a committee review of federal outsourcing with McKinsey & Company, Trudeau ordered Public Services and Procurement Minister Helena Jaczek and Treasury Board President Mona Fortier to look into expenditures incurred from outsourced contracts.
“I’ve asked Minister Jaczek and Minister Fortier to review the matter, to take a close look at the numbers and to look into the circumstances,” he said in French. “Public servants have always sought out expert advice to improve service delivery for Canadians, to modernize what they are doing. But we will look into this to ensure that everything was done in the right way, or whether we need to change or adjust any rules.”
Earlier reports noted that the Canadian government’s spending for outsourced contracts have steadily increased under the current leadership.
